“Could Eliana really go so far as to sacrifice her life for a performance?”

The audience was utterly captivated.

“I never expected the defendant to look so refined and gentle, yet beneath that facade lies a heart filled with malice!”

“As a big man, I’m shivering from what I’m hearing; her methods are incredibly cruel.”

“It’s no wonder Eliana felt pushed to the brink; I’m not sure I could withstand it either.”

“She even torments her sister, whom she professes to love—what a truly wicked woman!”

“Did you hear? Eliana is not her biological sister; she’s just the plaintiff’s adopted daughter.”

“She probably fears that the adopted daughter will lay claim to the family fortune, trying to drive her to ruin.”

“Some people are simply born with darkness in their hearts; they shouldn’t even exist in this world.”

“If the defendant were a man, I’d swear she was a malevolent creature straight out of a horror story.”

“I support the plaintiff in her quest for justice; she deserves the harshest punishment!”

“I’m with you all the way!”

Everyone turned against me, their glares seething with concealed anger, even the judge and jury.
